2011 American Le Mans Series LMPC team-championship winners Core Autosport has announced its new driver line-up and new livery for the 2012 season.
Core won the 2011 LMPC team title by a single point over Genoa Racing, and two Core drivers, Gunnar Jeannette and Ricardo Gonzalves, tied for the driver’s title with Genoa’s Eric Lux. This capped a stellar season first season for Core.
Core will be back in 2012 with two cars, some different drivers, a new engineer, and a different color scheme. All changes aside, the team fully expects to continue its winning way.
The team will debut its new livery and line-up at the ALMS Winter Test at Sebring International Raceway Feb. 8–9, preparing for the 2012 Sebring 12 Hours on March 17.
“The ALMS Winter Test is perfectly timed to get our team ready for the biggest race of the year, the 12 Hours,” team manager Brady Morgan said on the Core website.
“Last year Core Autosport was a new team and Sebring seemed like a Goliath to our David, but we were able to score a double podium finish.
“With two 2011 championships under our belt and new driver lineups in both cars, the Core Autosport team will have a bit of a learning curve, but that’s why this test is so crucial.
“We will have a month to continue to refine our procedures, processes and work on the cars to make sure that we’re as prepared as possible to take the top spot on the podium.”
